Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm
Schwabing
The Englischer Garten postcard — earns the slot
Munich's oldest beer garden, 1812 — 5,000 seats under the chestnuts
First marked on a Munich city map in 1812, the Augustiner-Keller is the oldest of Munich's beer gardens and still arguably the most beautiful: more than a hundred chestnut trees, 5,000 self-service seats, the Edelstoff drawn straight from wooden barrels. The indoor Wirtshaus carries Bavarian classics through the winter; from spring through October, the garden is the chapter's recommendation for the visiting-family Sunday lunch. A ten-minute walk west of the Hauptbahnhof on Arnulfstraße — central enough, residential enough.
If the audience asks for one beer garden in central Munich, this is the answer — older than the Chinesischer Turm, less postcard, served from wooden Holzfass barrels which most halls have abandoned for steel. Pairs with Augustiner-Bräustuben as the central-Munich Augustiner double.
